(YES) 3.2 The project will meet the engineering standards of the City. (YES) 3.3 The drainage that passes through the site is to be improved so that no structure is located within the 100 year flood channel. The drives are above such levels and allow for adequate and proper discharge without impeding the historic flow. (YES) 3.4 Our soils and geology report notes no hazards on or below the site which could be a hazard to the use of the property. (YES) 2.12 The perimeter fencing between land uses is consistent with the current fencing on site and adjacent-�to the property. The setbacks are generous and greater than any others in the area. The setbacks are adequate for the scale and height of our buildings. (YES) 2.13 The landscaping for this project provides several key elements of the overall design. The landscaping on the west side of the site is used•to mitigate the potential conflict between our land use and the existing residential uses. By combining dense landscaping which is primarily evergreens, solid fencing, and landscape berms the generous landscaping separation is enhanced. We also use the landscaping as a buffering feature in this area. our parking area is shielded by berms and fences to limit noise and headlight glare. We also use our landscaping to soften the scale and size of our buildings on site. Our landscaping on the courtyard area is used to help define this active recreational area from the passive areas. Landscaping is used to enhance our entry features and amenity building by the placement of trees and planting areas that compliment the project design. (YES) 2.14 The signage in this residential area is provided as architectural detailing to the project fencing and are not stand alone elements. (YES) 2.15 Our lighting is concentrated at the buildings. The buildings are the source of the site lighting in conjunction with bullard type lights that note the pedestrian walks. No parking lot pole type lights are used. We are providing exterior lighting to accent the landscaping, buildings and at the same time provide lighting levels that add to the security of our residents. Lighting is so placed and shielded to provide cut-off protection to the adjacent properties. (YES) 2.16 The noise generated by the site will be within the City Ordinances. Our 24 hour a day site security and maintenance staff will respond to any excessive noise rapidly when they become aware of it. (YES) 2.17 The site will not be a source of heat nor glare. No reflective glass is used. No extra ordinary heat sources will be on site. (YES) 2.18 The site, is not a producer of hazardous material. The pool will have chemical purification. Only qualified technicians will have access to these materials and at the quantities on site at any time, they would not be considered hazardous. All current EPA and PFA regulations will be met. (YES) 2.3 The current land features are rather minimal and drab. The vegetation is imported pasture grasses that do nothing to enhance. the existing plantings around the existing homes are in fair to poor condition and are mainly nauseant plants as defined by the City Forestry Department. (NA) 2.4 The internal circulation system on site allows the proper and safe movement of autos, bikes and pedestrians in a safe and convenient manor. An internal pedestrian way allows the resident to walk the site with minimal interface with auto traffic. Adequate parking is provided on site for the residents. (YES) 2.5 Proper fire and emergency access is provided on site.The site has two points of access and all turning radii and drive widths are to standards. The ability to reach all areas of the building surface is met when you consider passage through the building fire rated breezeways. (YES) 2.6 The neighborhood pedestrian circulation is improved through the site over the existing by the placement of sidewalks on each side of Orchard and on our side of Elizabeth. The Ability to access the public ways by our residents while controlled for safety reasons comes at strategic and allows connection to existing pedestrian ways in use adjacent to our property. The location of our connection is convenient for our residents. (YES) 2.7 The architecture of the project provides an attractive and high quality development. The buildings have -,a good combination of materials, colors, and forms that has good curb appeal. (YES) 2.8 No building is higher than forty feet. The buildings to the east are of similar use and height. "Thb' "viewws in, this area are generally to the west. Our structures do not inhibit the views to the mountains by any single family residential areas. (NA) 2.9 The buildings are so positioned as to not shade the adjacent properties greater than the criteria set out on the documents. (YES) 2.10 The project provides solar access to the adjacent properties and for those buildings on site that have solar orientation. (YES) 2.11 No historic significant buildings exist. (NA) 1.9 No hazardous materials are to be found on site. The project will conform to erosion control requirements during construction and until all turf cover is established and erosion is controlled by vegetation. Run-off water from the site will be filtered as it drains through our detention areas and the wetland area improving the water quality as it passes through the site. (YES) 1.10 Sanitation requirements will be met by the design of the project. (YES) A 2 NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY CRITERIA 2.1 The traffic study for the site addresses the fact that the property development will maintain the quality of the traffic flow in the area. The project will improve the flow of transportation by the improvembfift�,Ithat are, required to the arterial street adjacent and by developing Orchard Street that will serve as a collector type street and help alleviate some current traffic pressure in the area. The project encourages alternative modes of transportation by providing a bus shelter , a bus turn around area and by making bike storage safe and more convenient than auto storage. (YES) 2.2 The site is designed with the orientation of all the buildings focused on the interior open or courtyard space. This area is the major exterior recreation space and is accessible to all the residents. The location is such that we are using the residential buildings as a block for any potential noise generated by the site. We are shielding the adjacent properties by locating the amenities inward. The design of the site allows the front entry to focus on the Community building. In combination with the landscaping and fencing directing the focus to this building the best possible curb appeal is presented to the neighborhood. The positioning of the buildings to maximize the separation of the buildings from the single family residential area to the west allows for the maximum privacy for the existing residents and the Commons residents. The buffering space being wide, bermed and heavily landscaped allows the maximum privacy for all. Being a gated community with access being limited traffic noises will be reduced. Exterior lighting being limited to bullard type lighting and lights on the building "light pollution" will be minimized. The location of the berm to the west and north and with the majority of the planting being conifer trees most of the buildings are provided a wind break to help the micro climate in winter.

A 1 COMMUNITY WIDE CRITERIA 1.1 Solar Orientation. Single family home lots are required to have a percentage of the lots solar accessible. This project being multi -family does not require such an orientation. Though our lot is so configured to have poor solar access, 30W of our buildings meet the criteria of this item. (NA) 1.2 In reviewing the planning objectives and the design objectives for this project, you will find an adherence to the adopted Comprehensive Plan. (YES) 1.3 A portion of this site is noted as a wetland. In our design we have reconstructed and enhanced the wildlife potentials with plantings that provide natural food sources and natural native plantings to attract wildlife which was not present before. (YES) 1.4 No known mineral deposits are present in significant amounts to make mining feasible. (NA) . 1.5 The wetlands on site which are marginal and typically damaged by equine boarding on the property will be enhanced with this project with a wider and more native group of'species than is currently present on site. (YES) 1.6 The current uses on site are for college rentals of single family homes and equine boarding. No significant agricultural operations have occurred on site since li ,, 1'�; ,before the turn of the century when this property was divided into separate 100 foot wide parcels. (YES) 1.7 The location of the buildings being setback from the property lines significantly assure the adjacent properties of solar access. The buildings on site that have solar access are not shielded by our own buildings. (YES) 1.8 The buildings will be heated by natural gas by heating systems that are at least 80W efficient. There are no fireplaces within the units nor in the amenity building.
